SHOWBUZZDAILY TUESDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 10.20.2020

 

A drop for the WORLD SERIES.

DEMOGRAPHIC DETAIL: For each broadcast program (or hour segment), the chart below displays preliminary live+same day key advertiser demographics (adult 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54 ratings), audience skews (women 18-49, men 18-49 and adults 50+ shares) and total viewership (thousands of people over the age of 2).

Ratings analysis and comparisons follow the chart.

ABC:  THE BACHELORETTE fell 0.3 to 1.1, followed by a SUPERMARKET SWEEP rerun at 0.4.

CBS:  After reruns at 0.4/0.4, FBI DECLASSIFIED was down 0.5 to 0.4 (but at least part of that was because last week it had an NFL lead-in).

NBC:  The Tuesday premiere of THE VOICE was at 1.0, down half a point from the Fall 2019 Tuesday start.  TRANSPLANT nevertheless benefited from the bigger lead-in and grew by 0.3 to 0.6.

FOX:  The preliminary 1.8 for Game 1 of the WORLD SERIES fell sharply from last year’s early 2.9 (which adjusted to 3.1 in finals). 

CW:  SWAMP THING dropped 0.1 to 0.1, and TELL ME A STORY held at 0.1.

Tonight, ABC has the season premieres of THE GOLDBERGS, THE CONNERS and BLACK-ISH.

COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 live+same day ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.

Note: The fast affiliate-based ratings below measure what aired on network affiliates in 210 U.S. markets from 8-11 pm Eastern & Pacific or 7-10 pm Central & Mountain. The numbers are some combination of the network schedule and any pre-emptions (such as local news or weather coverage). Accurate program ratings will be available this afternoon with the broadcast finals.

CABLE RATINGS: Come back this afternoon for detailed demographic ratings for top Tuesday cable programs and broadcast finals.
